Buying FAQs

To purchase a freehold property in Dubai, the buyer only needs to provide a copy of his passport papers if he buys from a developer in the primary market. A company that buys a property must provide the developer with its registration documents (Articles of Incorporation, Registration Certificate, POA of the person signing on behalf of the company, and Board of Directors Resolution). Either entity, i.e., a person or a company, must sign a property reservation contract with the developer. When the property is turned over to the buyer, the buyer must register the property with the Government of Dubai Lands Department to receive a title deed.

Dubai’s real estate market has commissioned specific regulations to protect buyers and sellers. As a result, one must pay upfront fees separate from the property’s cost. The upfront fees may vary depending on the property type and thus differ between areas and property types. The following is the breakdown of transfer and registration fees:

  • DLD Fees = 4% of the property price + Admin fees (AED 580 for apartments and offices, AED 430 for land, AED 40 for off-plan)
  • Registration fees for properties worth less than AED 500,000 = AED 2000 + 5% VAT
  • Registration fees for properties worth more than AED 500,000 = AED 4000 + 5% VAT
  • Dubai Land Department mortgage registration fees = up to 0.25% of loan amount + AED 290

It is essential to know that DLD fees must be paid within 60 days, for the purchase to progress further.
